Xenophobe Fleet just spawns a planet with a Defender whose orders are to patrol
(normally, stations with <ships> order them to either guard or patrol. Setting them to wander instead results in the behavior we see with Xeno defenders/worldships, as well as with Ventari destroyers). The worldship encounter does the same thing, but with a station whose starting hitpoints are set to zero that spawns a worldship. The long string of events in the Xeno section is for the Ark encounter, which basically just says to break off a random ~50% of the defenders(based on a random number generated for each of them upon their creation, obtained via objGetDestiny).
